I'm just curious to know if there are any Cincinnati Ohio Sleevers?

The pre-surgery diet from curry is either 1-4 weeks depending on your BMI. Mine was 2 weeks of Medifast. Honestly, I found those 2 weeks the most difficult because my body was going through detox and I was so hungry. But, I lost 14 lbs., so that keeps you motivated. Drink lots of water!

lol..I just noticed I said pre-opt and I meant post-opt. I still get confused with wording things!!

Post op for me was 1 week of clear liquids, broth, shakes and the like. Then after you get your 1st checkup then to puree for 3 weeks, then soft foods. Puree is anything you can blend up into baby food consistancy. soft foods are pretty much anything you can "mash" with a fork where the food comes thru the tins of the fork, so like salisbury steak in small bites, soft meatloaf, chicken in a crock pot with cream of chicken soup, stuff like that. Remember protein first 60-80 grams a day, 20-40 carbs a day and 64 oz of liquids a day. Good Luck

Thought I would update. Surgery is set for April 8th one month from today. I start my pre-opt diet Sunday. I have to do 4 weeks. I also have to lose 20 lbs. I'm worried I won't. That's 5 lbs a week. I've been on the 2 and 3 diet for 3 months lost 60 lbs. I'm hoping I will lose this next 20.

Hey everyone on here. I'm in southeastern IN, but I'll be going to Cincy for my surgery with Dr. Brad Watkins. I'm nervous, and will probably have to wait for six months to do a doctor approved diet thing, but that's okay. Deep inside I know this is what I need to do, but who wants to think about what's going to be done! Not me, I'm a nurse! I do my level best not to even think about what happens during the procedure as it will just make me crazy going over the details!

Hey All,

Northern KY here. I am getting it done through St. Elizabeth's in florence. Just finished jumping through the hoops and it has been submitted to the insurance. Now just a waiting game. Wish me luck.

Hello healthygal,

I'm scheduled for surgery jan 22, with same doctor. Excited, anxious & nervous to say the least. Pushing through my 2 week pre op liquid fast. I have 4 kids and am a stay at home mama, so it is far from easy!! Just wanted to reach out to you and others getting sleeved (or other surgeries!) & shout out good luck!
